Tontouring: Contouring for lazy girls

Now you can have Kim Kardashian’s killer jawline all day err day, even with no make-up on.

We find ourselves in front of the mirror trying to contour our
face every single day. It gets really tiring and sometimes we just
wish that we are born with a naturally slim face. There are
manybizarre
trendsfor
contouring but each one is just really time consuming, especially
if we are beginners! On the verge of giving up, we saw a light at
the end of the tunnel. It’stontouring, a
life-changing alternative to contouring.

Contouring is applying matte contour powder or foundation that
are darker than your skin tone on your cheekbones, nose, and
forehead to enhance the overall facial features. Achieving the
perfect, flawless contoured make-up could take a couple hours. We
all want to have Kim K’s defined jawline everyday, but we might not
have time in the morning or we are just too lazy to do it.

Fortunately, the founder of Cocoa Brown self-tanner, Marissa
Carter, has invented this surprising trend of tontouring:
contouring with a faux tanner. Unlike the usual contour powder,
self-tanner is simple and easy. Using angle brush, apply a
self-tanner that’s 2 shades darker than your skin tone from under
the cheekbones and work your way up to the ears. Remember to blend
evenly so it looks natural!

It’s mandatory to contour the cheeks, it will instantly create a
slim face illusion. You can choose to tan your forehead and nose to
create more depth to your face. These two steps are optional, you
can also opt to apply for more defined features but be careful not
to overuse the product, else it will look too much and could ruin
your plan for that ‘no make-up’ beach date.

With a foundation brush, apply a tiny dot of
self-tanner on the sides of your forehead and
blend evenly from the tail of your brows to the tip of hairline.
Next, apply some tan on the sides and tip of the nose and blend
evenly with a blending sponge. Remember to keep the tan off your
nose bridge, as you want to create “shadows” for a sharper nose.
Choose oil-free tanner so it won’t clog your pores. However, it’s
advisable to save these two last areas for real contouring pros as
it might be a little tricky for beginners. Practice makes perfect,
and once you have mastered the contouring game, go for tontour!

The best thing about tontour is that it lasts up to a week, so
busy (and lazy) girls don’t have to worry about the hassle of
sculpting those jawlines every morning. This trend must be God’s
blessing for us girls, since now we can post glorious
#iwokeuplikethis selfies on
Instagram and mean it.
